Weigh In

I brought out the weight scales to see how much Scott weighs - I was thrilled to see 156. He is eating really well. I made a large pan of sausage gravy, to make it easier for him to warm in the microwave, I divided it into smaller bowls . He loves biscuits and gravy for breakfast and it is the easiest thing for me to make.

I made spareribs, salad and bake potatoes for dinner and he cleaned his plate. He even opted for an rice krispie treat for dessert. In the morning if he is awake at 4:30 which he usually is, he drinks an Ensure and a apple juice.

I try to keep a few things prepared in the refrigerator so he has a choice of what he would like to eat. I don't want him to get bored with one thing. It also makes it easier for me.

Through all this is has made me want to be more attentive to people that are ill. How even if it is a one or two meals a week - how much easier it will be for them to have an already prepared meal. So I will be asking my pastor who I can help.

My mother-in-law does Meals on Wheels, which I think, is sort of like that. I know she brings meals to homebound elderly people, but I don't know if the organization is for other homebound people as well.

It sounds like Scott has a good cook and can attribute a lot of his wonderful weight gain to the yummy food that you prepare. I get hungry just reading your food-related posts! :)
